The Ministry of Water Resources launches the amount of water in the river Jidai water volume to ensure the safety of water supply in Taihu Lake Basin

Our newspaper, Beijing, July 16th (Reporter Chen Chen) The reporter learned from the Ministry of Water Resources on the 16th that since June this year, the rainfall of Taihu Basin is more than 70 % less than the same period of the year. decline. At 10:00 on July 16th, Taihu Waterfall was 3.16 meters, which was 0.40 meters lower than the same period of the year, the lowest in the same period in the past 20 years. According to meteorological predictions, there will be no obvious rainfall process in the Taihu Lake Basin in the next ten days. In addition to the continuous high temperature impact, the water level in Taihu will continue to decline, the liquidity of the water body will weaken, and the risk of cyanobacteria water will increase.

On the 16th, the Ministry of Water Conservancy held a meeting of charges to analyze and judge the drought situation of the Taihu Lake Basin. In view of the current low water level in Taihu Lake and still showing a downward trend, it has reached the stipulated condition of the water adjustment of the "Flood and Water dispatching schedule of the Taihu Basin". At 16 o'clock in the summer of 2022, the amount of water quantity was introduced. The Ministry of Water Conservancy issued a notice requesting the Taihu Basin Administration and Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province (municipality) Water Conservancy (Water Affairs) Hall (Water) Department (Bureau) Department (Bureau), pay close attention to weather changes, strengthen rainwater conditions monitoring forecast and water engineering scheduling, and do a good job of monitoring and monitoring of water quality and monitoring and monitoring of water quality. Prevent and control, and orderly carry out the work of leading the river in the river to achieve multiple goals such as flood prevention and safety, water supply and development, and improving the water environment. During the water transfer, if a sudden heavy rainfall is encountered, it is predicted that the water level of the Taihu water level exceeds the water level. Set up water to ensure flood prevention safety.

In order to ensure the safety of water supply in the water source of Taihu Lake and improve the water environment of Taihu and surrounding areas, according to the dispatch mechanism of the water volume of the river, the Taihu Basin Management Bureau of the Ministry of Water Conservancy, together with Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang provinces (municipalities), water conservancy (water affairs) departments (bureaus) "Summer 2022 Summer Leading Jiang Jitai Water Plan". The first is the joint scheduling of the Changshu Water Conservancy Hub of Wangyu River. The amount of water in the Yangtze River is 1 to 10 million to 16 million cubic meters of water. The second is that the Tai Pu gate is not less than 60 cubic meters to supply water to Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places downstream. The third is to enable the control project of the West Bank of Wangyu River to avoid inferior water on the west bank to enter Taihu Lake through Wangyu River. According to the results of the scheduling rehearsal, the implementation of the amount of water in the river Jitai water can improve the water environment of the Taihu Lake, increase the water supply supply of the watershed, meet the water demand for water around the Taihu Lake, and effectively reduce the impact and loss of high temperature and drought around Taihu Lake.
